The action research phase in which the researcher makes interpretations and offers explanation about the case at hand is called

A) planning.
B) looking.
C) thinking.
D) action.

The interpretation and explanation phase is a critical part of action research that involves thinking through the data collected and making sense of the patterns, trends, and outcomes observed. This helps the researcher to draw conclusions, make recommendations, and take action to bring about change and improvement in the situation being studied. Planning, looking, and action are all important stages of the action research process, but they come before or after the interpretation phase.
